Deadly dangers lurk everywhere in the Black Forest, especially in a world of magical powers.
According to the ancient legends of Laherion, the world was first formed from a boiling and violent ocean of "source", and the primordial energy of chaos was constantly rising and falling in the ocean of source, and in the collision, the first great The bubble was named "Anke", and when this big bubble burst, the original creatures were split from it. These creatures struggled on the remaining fragments after the big bubble burst, continuously absorbing the energy of the source element, and gradually cooled the source element ocean around the bubble, thus forming the world, and the cooled source element became the original sea water, and then The form of an endless ocean surrounds the continent of Laherien.
But not all "primitive creatures" have survived this process. Some creatures went crazy during the process of absorbing the source elements. They desperately absorbed the energy, and finally let themselves be torn apart. These self-annihilated failures due to greed Those who become the source of all the monsters in this world, their powdered corpses are flying to the whole world, every particle of dust becomes a monster, these monsters have inherited the greedy nature, and they are eager for The nourishment of magic power—so they all gather near those magic power sources that have powerful magic power responses but lack control, and become the most dreaded opponents of every magic user.
That's why Leah used an iron staff to practice the thirty-six ways of crazy magic staff.
Accompanied by a piercing scream, the lizard, whose head was as black as ink and whose body was covered with hard crystalline scales, was sent flying high, and made a deep ravine ten meters long after landing. The vitality flowed from this monster, and its dissimilated crystalline scales quickly weathered and fell off like sand, revealing the normal-sized lizard body below. After a few seconds, the lizard body also began to rot and shrink rapidly, slowly becoming It became a place of rotten meat and bones that could hardly be seen.
Leah maintained the posture of swinging the iron staff forward, and then slowly counterattacked after taking a long breath: "Bachli, an expert in the study of magical creatures, figured out three hundred years ago that these 'demon eaters' are actually just It's just a mutated product after being severely eroded by specific magic energy. They didn't gather near the source of magic power because of greed, but they lived in these places before they were corrupted by magic power... "
She put away her staff, and watched in astonishment that Lily, who was not far away, used the huge alloy X998 sword that was as huge as a door panel to slap a Demon-eating furbolg into the ground, then shook her head and continued to do something. The explanation work that famous scholars should have: "Although myths and legends have finally become legends, and scholars have confirmed that there is no so-called Sea of Elements outside the Endless Ocean, the danger of these demon-eating monsters is always real. Casting spells Readers are most afraid of encountering this kind of thing, because these monsters themselves are mutated by magic, and their outer skin is so resistant to magic that they are almost immune to magic. Knock, or give it to the warriors..."
She was jumping while talking from the corner of her eyes, because in the corner of her sight, the little girl Elizabeth was kicking a demon-devouring monitor lizard over with one foot, then forcefully opened the monitor lizard's mouth with one hand, and held a large basin the size of a washbasin with the other. The fireball was stuffed into the monitor lizard's stomach with all its might—the demon-devouring monster is indeed extremely resistant to magic, but that doesn't mean it will have a huge appetite. After stuffing the third big fireball, the poor monster At last he died: he died alive.
"Yeah!!" The little devil girl cheered happily, with an innocent and lovely smile on her face.
Leah completely lost interest in explaining, and hastily ended her teaching: "... some special combat techniques are also effective against demon-devouring monsters."
The team encountered a monster attack shortly after entering the black forest, and what appeared at the beginning was not a traditional beast, but the kind of "monster" that Leah mentioned before that became violent due to the influence of magic power. Holding the attitude of collecting the environmental parameters of this world and collecting biological samples by the way, Hao Ren and his party immediately went into battle with swords, guns and halberds, just like a group of real mercenaries—but Liya, as the employer, did not observe the battle honestly from the sidelines, but It was he who also rolled up his sleeves.
This lady magician is indeed different from the style of ordinary academic scholars. After she charged up with her staff, everyone immediately realized this. After all, no normal scholar can hold an iron staff weighing several dozen kilograms. Even with Hao Ren's knowledge and knowledge, he only knows that Anthony J. Alfonso is an exception, and this Miss Leia , she is apparently the second exception.
But for Ms. Leah, the group of "mercenaries" she just met in front of her is not just an exception.
The fighting style of this group of guys is simply unheard of—it seriously challenged her understanding of every combat profession and every actual combat tactic. Any instructor who has passed the qualification test will probably turn around after seeing this group of guys fighting. My own certificate was burned: the giant swordsman of the werewolf didn't know any sword skills, and he used the gate sword to smash monsters from the beginning to the end; the fire mage Xiao Luoli only knew one fireball technique, and then smashed monsters with a big fireball ;The warrior named Yizaks didn't have any moves, his main offensive method was to grab the enemy casually, and then use the enemy to smash the monster; Where did he go, but there were a few healing spells thrown over in time during the battle; the catman, known as the night assassin, hadn't been seen since the beginning of the battle, and didn't come out until the fight was almost over, still holding A fish—this fucking is incomprehensible, because there is no river in the forest, how far has she traveled to fish
If one or two mavericks came out, Leah could still explain it by "the world is full of wonders", but it was not easy to understand such a group of strange guys hanging out in groups. She suddenly began to suspect that she was looking for Is it a mistake for this group of guys to be helpers: the strange fighting style of this group of people is thrown aside first, and their strength alone is already a model that can walk sideways everywhere. When you encounter an accident and are so downcast that you run to the door of the mercenary union to do private work
However, her doubts were soon interrupted by Hao Ren's voice: "It's settled, these things are not as difficult as you said."
The corners of Liya's eyes twitched: "Because not everyone can violently smash a whole group of demon-eating monsters like you—are you guys really just a group of adventurers who came out to make a living?"
"A 'battle mage' who can beat monsters with a staff, are you embarrassed to say us?" Hao Ren laughed, and didn't intend to answer Leah's question. Anyway, he is just a passerby in this world, and he doesn't care about these details. Question, "You don't have to worry about our origins, anyway, we will definitely complete this contract well, isn't there such a saying in the mercenary business: don't bother with names, just count the gold coins."
Liya raised her eyebrows: "This sentence sounds a bit professional."
At this time, Vivian came over with her rolled belt in her hand: "We have already started to encounter monsters, how far is the ruin you mentioned?"
The cat girl struggled hard, twisting her upper body back and forth: "Put me down meow! Let me down! I don't think you need help to fish!"
"The demon-devouring monster appears, and we are not far from the entrance," Leah ignored the catman's noise, and turned to look down at an enchanting scroll in her hand, which was the magic she copied and made in advance The map, which automatically records the action routes of everyone after entering the forest and the location where they encountered the attack, "As I expected before, the ruins still have magic power leaking out, so it's much easier to find..."
Liya said, put away the scroll, raised the iron staff and drew a simple magic rune in mid-air, as the symbol gradually dissipated in the air, she looked up to a certain direction deep in the dense forest: "Then side."
Under the guidance of Miss Magician, everyone encountered several times of non-threatening monster attacks, and finally saw some ruined shadows among the overgrown vines and fallen giant trees.
The ruins are very close.
"These things..." Vivian looked at more and more ruins around her, with a trace of doubt in her eyes, "Why do I always feel like I've seen them somewhere?"
In the depths of the dark and gloomy black forest, the relics of civilization from ancient times dormant quietly in the grass, bearing the erosion and erosion of time, thick soil and rotting leaves, moss that has grown over the years, and intertwined vines Burying these ancient traces deeply, only a few spiers or a few broken bricks and broken tiles can be exposed in the once magnificent palace, but it was those little broken bricks and broken tiles that caused both Hao Ren and Vivian An inexplicable sense of familiarity.
However, it is definitely not a building in the style of the Goddess of Creation—Hao Ren is absolutely sure of this.
He has seen many things in the style of the goddess of creation, whether it is the temples on the gate of Suluen, the palace of the goddess seen in the vision, or the starships that guard the giants, they all have very distinctive characteristics, and recently He has been following up the research in this area, which can be said to be very impressive. If these things in front of him are really related to the founding star, he will definitely be able to see it at a glance.
What are these ruins in front of you
Hao Ren frowned, and some vague impressions gradually emerged in his mind, but before he grasped the key point, Leah had already led everyone to find the location of the main body of the ruins.
"Ah, I found it! Sure enough, it's here!"
cried the young mage happily.
The scene ahead suddenly became clear.
There is actually a rather wide open space in the forest, and the ancient trees and bushes have not been able to completely swallow up the ancient civilization relics here for a long time. On that open land, ancient pillars broke and collapsed and were half-buried in the soil. The gorgeous palace walls leaned crookedly together, surrounded by broken bricks and tiles. A particularly eye-catching building is located The center of all the ruins—strictly speaking, it is just the remaining dome of a certain building. The roof with ornate patterns and smooth lines protrudes from the ground, covered with moss and winding vines, and one side is broken. There is a big hole, and a broad-leaved tree pokes its head out of the hole.
Years of wind and rain erosion have almost completely destroyed the original color of these wreckages, making them all covered with a layer of dilapidated gray-black. However, on the gray-black background, many golden lines and patterns can still be vaguely seen.
Golden lines and ornamentation... Luxurious style... Streamlined...
Hao Ren felt his brain jumping up, and then he immediately began to compare the wreckage he saw with some things in his impression, and at the same time, he painted all the wreckage in gold in his mind.
Then he realized that he really knew this style, especially the complicated patterns on the surface of these buildings. He had seen their real objects at the Gate of Suluen: it was on the spaceship of the god-killing race.
